Sir,
The pension certificate of Mrs Sucky Field, enclosed in your letter of the 14 th inst. is herewith returned. She is not entitled to a higher rate of pension than the Dept has allowed. The Act of March 18. 1818, under which her dec d husband was pensioned, allows $96 per Annum to any one who served nine months, continuously, on the Continental establishment; but the Act  law of June 7. 1832, on which the Act of July 7. 1838 is based, gives no more than $80 per Annum to any soldier for the longest service he could have performed, and in proportion for less than two years service. As her dec d husband served one year only, she can receive no more than $40 per Annum.

Dear Mr. Morgan:
I am trying to trace the service in W. Va the Revolutionary War of Henry Field or Fields. It may be that father and son of the same name served. The son died about 1777-78. The father died in 1790. He enlisted from Culpeper County, Virginia.
I will be obliged for any light you can throw on the military record and personal history of either, or both.
Very sincerely,
Louis Ludlow

Gentlemen:
Attention, Bureau of Pensions:
In Volume III of United States Pensioners, State of Kentucky, Page 24, appears:
Name - Henry Field Rank - Private Annual Allowance - $96.00 Sums received - $484.12 Description of Service - Virginia line When placed on pension rolls - February 10, 1819 Commencement of pension - May 12, 1818 Age - 74 Remarks - died May 27, 1823 State and County under which found - Bullitt Co., Ky.
This soldier was the great great grandfather of my wife, Imogene Elizabeth Field Holmes. Confusion has arisen concerning the soldier Henry Field and another individual of the same name who lived at the same time.
Will you be good enough to examine the pension file on this Henry Field and advise me in as great detail as possible concerning him. I would like to know, if the record shows it, such information as - when and where he enlisted, date and place of his birth, what his service consisted of, who his parents, wife and children were with such dates as appear, and where he lived at the various dates on which he had correspondence concerning his pension. Was there an application for widow's pension? All we know of his wife is that her name apparently was Miss _____ Cardwell.
From 1919 to 1932 I was assistant clerk of the Committee on Invalid Pensions of the House of Representatives and the files were available to me but I didn't know about this matter in those days. I shall be most grateful for your kindness in giving me a complete report.
Yours very truly,
